Hotfixes: January 9

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Legion. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

Poison Knives (Artifact trait) reduced to 3% per point (was 4% per point).

Deadly Poison triggered instant damage increased by 15%.

Items

Wakening Essences now always drop from all sources.

Developers’ notes: With 7.3.5, Wakening Essences will be used to purchase a token that creates a legendary item. This hotfix makes it so that you can begin collecting Wakening Essences now, should you wish to.

Developers’ notes: This change is aimed at changing how Convergence of Fates scales with item level – or rather, how it doesn’t. For some specializations, the cooldown reduction effect is so powerful that the item level of the trinket is all but irrelevant. We’re shifting more of the item’s power to primary stat and less in the base proc to cause the trinket’s scaling with item level to be more similar to other trinkets in Legion.

Forgefiend's Fabricator damage increased by 25%.

Garothi Feedback Conduit Haste amount increased by 10%.

Gorshalach's Legacy damage increased by 25%.

Highfather's Machination healing amount increased by 10%.

Ishkar's Felshield Emitter absorb amount increased by 10%.

Prototype Personnel Decimator damage increased by 10%. Minimum damage when targets are 20 yards from the impact point increased to 50% of max damage (was 20%).

Void Eruption no longer deals a separate damage event for each of your Shadow Word: Pain or Vampiric Touch on each target. Instead, it now deals a single damage event to all targets that have either your Shadow Word: Pain or Vampiric Touch.

Dark Archangel's visual spell effect is now visible for all targets affected.

Rogue

Insignia of Ravenholdt damage reduced by 50% against players.

The Dreadlord’s Deceit increases Fan of Knives and Shuriken Storm damage by 6% per stack against players (was 25% per stack).

Hotfixes

November 10

Classes

Priest

Holy

Prayer of Healing can now correctly heal designated non-player targets.

Dungeons and Raids

Tempest Keep: The Arcatraz

Level 110 enemies should no longer appear in the level 70 version of Tempest Keep: The Arcatraz.

Throne of Thunder

Council of Elders again drops loot when defeated.

Items

Relinquished Armor Sets no longer stack, and can now be refunded for Nethershards within the refund period.

Reputation

Fixed a bug where players below level 110 could earn paragon reputation rewards. This was not intended.

Fixed a bug where players who were not eligible for paragon reputations could still use reputation token items, not receive the reputation, and lose the item. These items will now prevent the player from using them until the player is eligible.

Hotfixes

November 6

Class Halls

The mission "Another Rat Problem" should again be available, and awards pet supplies with a bonus pet supplies reward.

Dungeons and Raids

Court of Stars

Watchful Inquisitor's Searing Glare should be more reliably interrupted by stuns and interrupts.

October 26

Hotfixes

Argus

Fixed an issue where Khazaduum could not be slain in Krokuun while the world quest "Holding the Spire" was active.

Fixed a bug preventing Invasion Point: Cen’gar from properly appearing on the map.

Classes

Monk

Windwalker

Damage of all abilities increased by 15%.

Vestments of Enveloped Dissonance 2-piece bonus now reduces the cooldown of Rising Sun Kick by 1 second (was 2 seconds).

Developers’ notes: These changes, along with adjustments to the same set bonuses that were made in patch 7.3.2, should put the combination of 2- and 4-piece sets in line with our plans for the power of those tiers, and allow us to make the forthcoming Antorus tier competitive and valuable for Monk damage dealers. The spec-wide damage increase is intended to keep all of these adjustments from reducing overall damage output, and we’ve counteracted the changes in PvP with intent to be neutral.

Dungeons and Raids

The Deadmines

Resolved an issue that could cause "Captain" Cookie's Throw Food from throwing food as intended.

The Nighthold

Fixed a bug causing the Living Infernal Core to sometimes drop in Raid Finder difficulty.

The Netherlight Crucible trait Infusion of Light will no longer proc from Greater Blessing of Wisdom healing.

Professions

Technique: Glyph of Fel-Touched Shards should be usable again to learn how to make the glyph.

Quests

The "All In" scenario in Suramar should no longer become stuck at 96% progress.

September 13

Hotfixes

Argus

Toraan has been reminded of his allegiances and now provides an Argussian Reach faction discount.

Fixed a bug preventing some of the Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon World Quests from counting toward the appropriate Emissary.

Dungeons and Raids

Seat of the Triumverate

Shadow Pounce cast by Shadow Stalker panthara should no longer destroy Sealed Void Caches for the Let it All Out achievement.

Zuraal the Ascended

Dark Aberrations should cast Release Void Energy if disoriented.

Viceroy Nezhar

Fixed a bug where Viceroy Nezhar could cast Howling Dark while under the effects of Dark Bulwark, making it impossible to interrupt.

Hotfixes

Soultender Videx is no longer required for the Commander of Argus achievement.

[With restarts in each region] Argus Waystones no longer drop from bosses in Invasion Points. Any Argus Waystones in your possession have been converted to Veiled Argunite.

[With restarts in each region] The quests Invasion Point Offensive and Invasion Onslaught no longer require Argus Waystones.

[With restarts in each region] The Argussian Reach emissary again requires 4 World Quests completed.

Classes

Developers’ notes: All of the damage increases below are a combination of buffing specs that don't benefit from the Netherlight Crucible's item level increase as much as other specs, as well as tuning the specs relative to each other.

The number of Echoing Anguish debuffs has been reduced to 2 (was 3) on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties.

Kil’jaeden

Reduced the health of Kil’jaeden, Erupting Reflection, and Shadowsoul by 5% on all difficulties.

The maximum distance from the center of the platform that Armageddon can spawn has been reduced on all difficulties.

The radius of the explosion from Bursting Dreadflame has been reduced on all difficulties.

Chaotic Eruption damage and knockup has been reduced on Mythic difficulty.

Player versus Player

All specs that received general damage increases above have been reduced by an equivalent amount in PvP, as the Netherlight Crucible’s item-level increases to the player’s Artifact weapon have very little impact on PvP.

September 8

Hotfixes

Argus

Fixed a bug that allowed players to teleport to the nearest flight point in Antoran Wastes even if it was inactive.

The Broken Shore
